As I walked along, I came to the outskirts of town. Suddenly, I looked at the side of the road and saw that a well had been dug. There is no running water in this area. Therefore, a large water vase is placed in front of each house, and water stored in this vase is used daily. Under these circumstances, fetching water from the well is part of the daily chores that must be done.
A woman with her cheeks painted white with thanaka was drawing water for daily use from the well as I passed by. There was a sign hanging on the fence, but it was written in Burmese, so I couldn't make out what it said. It might have been a warning about the use of the well.
